Diversity of SCCmec elements in methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci clinical isolates.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2011

Zong Zhiyong, Peng Chunhong, Lü Xiaoju

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MR-CoNS) are opportunistic pathogens and serve as a large reservoir of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec). Characterization of SCCmec in MR-CoNS can generate useful information on the mobilization and evolution of this element. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Non-repetitive MR-CoNS clinical isolates (n = 84; 39 S. epidermidis, 19 S....
